What is a castle?

Multi-storey buildings in ancient buildings in China. There is a difference between early buildings and pavilions. Lou is a house with more than two floors in ancient buildings, and it is also a weighing house.

Buildings often occupy a secondary position in the buildings, such as the Buddhist scriptures building, the back building of the princes' mansion, the balcony building and so on. The pagoda appeared in the Warring States Period, and the pagoda in the Han Dynasty was as high as three stories. For example, the pottery buildings of the Han Dynasty excavated in later generations are as high as 9 stories, which is related to the high platform fashion of the Han Dynasty.

However, there are also buildings named after pavilions, such as Wenyuan Pavilion in the Forbidden City and Tianyi Pavilion in Ningbo. The existing famous pavilions are Wenchang Pavilion, Penglai Pavilion, Wenshui Pavilion, Huangwu Pavilion, Ziguangge and Wanfo Pavilion.

There is a flat seat and waist eaves in the middle of the pavilion facade, and an upper veranda is arranged along the flat seat.
